...trips than she made for the entire year. Auditors and the board should be familiar with the fraud triangle, and recognized both opportunity and rationalization. Petty jealousy may have played a part in her coworkers ignoring or explaining away all of Sachdeva’s high-end purchases. It also mentions that they thought she used family money or her husband’s money to pay for her purchases, but perhaps they didn’t actually get to know her background, or research how much money pediatricians make. As noted above, everyone in this case could have really asked themselves how much pediatricians make, or simply could have asked Sachdeva about her family history in a friendly, non-threatening way and ascertained that she did not come from a wealthy background. Also, the auditor should have vouched invoices related to the costs of goods sold, and inquired of the audit committee about their review of credit card statements, internal control procedures. The audit committee should have been reviewing monthly financial statements, bank...

...Raising Children with Corporal Punishment By Lynn Collier With my head hung between my knees, I sat on my bed dreading the sound of my dad’s beat up, old pickup truck rumbling down the dirt road to our house. I was caught smoking cigarettes with my friend Chuck, and I sat waiting for the punishment that followed. At that time, I honestly wished Mom had dealt with me instead of Dad. Being the deviant child that I was, I knew what was coming. First, I’d get the lecture from Mom as Dad would listen while making that disappointed face. It would end with a spanking from Dad’s large, worn-out leather belt. And that’s just the way it happened. Chuck had it easier; he just received a week of grounding. Funny thing, though, even though Chuck’s parents and my parents were non-smokers, Chuck smokes a minimum of a pack of cigarettes a day now, whereas I have never smoked a cigarette since then. Looking back, I wouldn’t change a single thing about that experience or the others that accompanied my mistakes. I learned valuable lessons about right and wrong and accepting the consequences of my actions. A major controversy in American society today is the debate on the use of corporal punishment by parents for disciplining their children. The use of corporal punishment has both supporters and opponents with opinions, statistics, and evidence for their views on the issue. I believe there is a big difference in a reasonable use of force for discipline and child abuse. Having experienced...

I perpetually have always had an interest in the healthcare field. In fifth grade I decided I was going to become a pediatrician. I continued on to complete a Bachelors of Science in Biology, setting course on a premed track. While in progress of my senior year classes, I decided medical school was no longer my goal. Instead, I was flirting with the idea of other areas of healthcare. After college, I landed a position as a Recruiter in healthcare staffing. It was a side of patient care that was completely new to me. I decided to move my career to California, where...

...Time to Reverse Childhood Obesity Brian Brown ENG/147 May 11, 2015 Kevin Phillips Obesity in Children Is childhood obesity a personal choice or genetics? It could be both. Studies have indicated that a genetic predisposition to obesity may exist, but that the interaction of genetic and environmental factors may also cause obesity (Larsen, Mandleco, & Williams, 2006). Children ages 12 and under account for one-third of those with Type 2 diabetes resulting from improper nutrition, lack of exercise, and/or poor education. The ramifications are increased health care costs and a generation of children that may need to be medicated for life. The key is change. Attitude, nutrition and education can reverse this epidemic and allow these children to create a healthy lifestyle. Children with Type 2 Diabetes The number of children with Type 2 diabetes (Mellitus) has increased over the years due to childhood obesity affecting the metabolism. Before the 1990’s, this condition was diagnosed in middle-aged to older adults and was considered normal. According to Copeland, Chalmers & Brown (2005), “During the past decade, pediatricians have witnessed a profound change in that the epidemiology of diabetes is being diagnosed in children and adolescence at an alarming rate.” Children ages 12 and under account for 30% of those with Type 2 Diabetes in the United States. Obesity has become big business in the medical arena as it also relates to potential...

...opposed to getting children vaccinated, fear of putting children more at risk to catch a disease. Parents need to take advantage of children getting vaccinated instead of going against it. Without vaccinations children will be under the radar for deadly diseases the immune systems have not learned to fight off. Public officials are even trying to make getting vaccinated mandatory to attend school. History/Background Edward Jenner is considered to be the founder of vaccinology in the west 1796. "A brief history of vaccination." (A brief history of vaccination | Immunization Advisory Centre. N.p., n.d. Web.) Jenner demonstrated immunity with smallpox, on a 13-year-old boy. In 1798 the first small pox vaccine was developed. In the mid-1970s personal health became concerned with vaccination safety. Lawsuits were being filled against manufactures of vaccines and healthcare providers. There was a vaccine shortage and public health officials became worried about disease being spread and killing people rapidly. Spies, Claudia.

...human life span is about seventy-eight years. Yet, some of us get sick, diseased or injured in an accident and become comatose. When the medical condition of a person is deemed progressive, terminal and there is no hope of recovery, that person should be able to exercise the option of ending their life. Particularly, when that individual feels he or she cannot stand the suffering in the last stages of their disease. Moreover, if a person has sustained an injury where their brain is not functional or damaged beyond basic functions, euthanasia is an option to lengthy life-sustaining treatment methods that may be futile. However, euthanasia has been a debated topic since the Greek-written Hippocratic Oath. This Oath is one of the first statements of moral conduct where doctors and health care professionals profess to do no harm by practicing medicine ethically. There are many opinions that in certain special populations, such as minorities and the disabled, euthanasia and assisted suicide give ways to possible abuse of the health care system. The three states that that now allow assisted suicide are Washington (2008), Montana (2008), and Oregon (1994), euthanasia is still illegal in the United States. The difference between euthanasia and assisted suicide is the administration of the lethal drugs to the patient. If the physician or another person directly administers lethal medications to patient, the action is called euthanasia. Euthanasia is acknowledged in two ways:...

...Law of tort is a civil wrong other than a claim for breach of contract; and for which a right civil action for damages may arise. Negligence is defined by Winfield and Jolowicz as “Tortious liability arises from the breach of duty primarily fixed by the law; this duty is towards persons generally and its breach is redressible by an action for unliquidated damages”. (Roger, W.V.H., 2006) In Malaysia, the law of tort is largely derived from common law in England. In the law of tort, negligence is the most widely used tort in the legal system. In order for a claimant who is seeking for remedy to successfully bring a claim in a negligence case, they must first prove these 3 factors: * The defendant held a legal duty against the claimant. Therefore, the defendant owed the claimant a duty of care. * The defendant had breach of that duty. * The claimant are suffering damages resulted in that breach of duty. These three factors will sometimes be shortened as duty, breach and damage. Duty of care This important factor of negligence came from a famous case of Donoghue v Stevenson (1932). In this case, the claimant, Ms Donoghue went to the Minchella’s Wellmeadow Café in Paisley with her friend. Her friend ordered a bottle of ginger beer that was contained in an opaque bottle. When she poured the remained ginger beer, a decomposed snail came out with her ice cream. Ms Donoghue became ill as she has consumed the contaminated beer.
